Question

Python noob so I might be going about this the wrong way

I want to use a try/except block to find if a value in a dict isn’t set like

try:
    if entry['VALUE1'] == None: void()
    if entry['VALUE2'] == None: void()
except KeyError:
    print "Values not Found"

Of course the ‘void’ function doesn’t exist, is there anything I can do to get round this so that code will work properly

Answer 1

Try replacing void() with pass.

Of course, in practice, you can just do if key in some_dict:. But if you ever need a “do nothing” in a block, pass is what you’re looking for.
